I AM


JUDGED because of the way I look, dress,
The color of my skin
Describes me as an African American
That has set her future to succeed in
planned to go to a four year college
but not that’s just something to bypass
Important to them we people are viewed if we come from MONEY or not,
Minority or white
We are children of God so that makes us equal
We just do not share the same race or ethnicity
I hope a day like that will come
Yes I am an African American
Should that matter…?
View myself as,
A young lady with high expectations,
Athletic, smart, funny, kind hearted
No that’s just something to bypass

Growing up
Every person but dark-skinned people
Were in
Girls/Boys flocked to them
The nice long brown curly hair
Sparkling eyes
Million dollar smile J
Wished to be liked that way…
Too DARK
“Hush boo its ok, you’re beautiful in my eyes inside n out”
Thanks daddy

Today I am happy to be what I am
African American
Dark skin
However you may call it
It’s my ethnicity I can’t change it and do not want too
This is who I am
ME!

Am I Degenerate…?
Label me a degenerate
Because I am black
Mark me as feeble-minded
Because my pedigree is wrong
If my brother was a criminal
That makes me incorrigible
Commit me to the asylum
Repress me in society
Judge me before you know me
Ostracize my kind from your society
Tell us were imbeciles
Try to coercive me
That I am an imbecile
My skin isn’t white
My father isn’t rich
So I’m not the best of the best
don’t let me reproduce

I am an honor roll student
An assume athlete
Got a good head on my shoulders
Working hard for mines
College in the fall
If I’m not the best of the best
Then tell me…who is?
I’ve proven your pseudo science FALSE
Still I’m adverse
Truthfully
However, the only thing bad for society
Is YOU!!!

My Half-Caste Daughter


I want her back

My little princess of gone

And

Probably ever coming back

They took her when she was five,

It’s been two years!!!!

Why my daughter, my sweetie pie, my princess

Neville gets all the praise like he’s some God

The DEVIL he is!!!

Having her assimilate from our culture,

Force us the European lifestyle….

I’ve never been this far away from my princess

I pray and pray and pray everyday

For God to bring her back.

But what for?

He hasn’t done so

So, I just cry and cry and cry myself to sleep

No parent or no child should have to go through this

I hate all of those non-colored people

Because they took my baby from me.

It hurts, I’m sick with out her.

Come back Talia, mommy misses you!!!
